Toggling whether a view's DOs can be shared or not only affects DOs created in the future. Non-shared DOs can be subsequently shared by doing a "winkin" on them or by using "view_scrubber -p". Once a DO has been shared, it cannot be unshared.

Merge types:

Trivial	-	Nothing at all happened to one contributor.
Automatic	-	Only one contributor has changed for any given chunk of text.
Non-automatic	-	Cannot resolve conflict without human intervention.

Merges can be done in a selective or subtractive manner. These type merges can only be done from the command-line (with the exception of a single version selective merge) and merge arrows are not recorded, as a merge arrow implies a cumulative merge. Examples:

Select a single version.
  # ct merge -to element -insert -version version-selector
ex: ct merge -to foo.c -insert -version /main/bug_fix2/4
Select a range of versions.
  # ct merge -to element -insert -version from-version-selector to-version-selector
ex: ct merge -to foo.c -insert -version /main/bug_fix2/2 /main/bug_fix2/6
  If you want the range from versions 2 to 6, but not version 3, you must do two merges.
Exclude a single version.
  # ct merge -to element -delete -version version-selector
ex: ct merge -to foo.c -delete -version /main/bug_fix2/4
Exclude a range of versions.
  # ct merge -to element -delete -version from-version-selector to-version-selector

  # ct mklbtype label

Labels must conform to the following syntax:
- Must contain only letters, digits or the special characters "_", "." and "-".
- First character cannot be a dash or digit.
The general convention is that labels are all uppercase letters; to avoid confusion with all lowercase letter branch names.

The default is that a label can only be attached to one version on any branch. Use the   -pbranch   option to allow attaching of the label once per branch.

# This script is intended for used as a "-preop lnname" trigger.  The lnname
# operation covers mkelem, ln, mkdir, and mv.
# It checks to see if the name of the element being created exists on 
# a different branch of the parent directory, independent of case.  It will work
# on UNIX or Windows.  This trigger will prevent the affectionately named
# "evil twin" scenario.

# NOTE: Even though two developers can add a like-named element to a CHECKEDOUT
# directory at the same time, the inherent difficulties in dealing with checkouts
# in a view not your own precludes a check inside those directory versions.
# Therefore, this script does not inspect CHECKEDOUT versions of the parent directory.
# As a workaround, a preop checkout trigger could alert a user that another user has the
# same directory or element checkedout and that he/she should communicate with that
# other developer to avoid naming collisions.

Things to consider before moving the vob:
- Ensure the original is backed up prior to the move.
- The user and group names need to be the same on the new server. This includes the actual user and group ID numbers. - Unmount the VOB from all hosts.
- If the VOB is replicated via CCMS, the procedure is much easier if the local replica is self-mastering. If not self-mastered (see the describe command), have the mastering site run the chmaster command. The site that does the chmaster must be the one to sync with the other replicas:

  # ct describe replica:replica-name@vob-tag
  # mt chmaster replica:replica-name@vob-tag replica:replica-name@vob-tag
(for each remote replica)
  # mt syncreplica -export -fship remote-replica-name@local-vob-tag

Moving a VOB to a new host:

  # ct lspool -long -invob vob-tag

  # vob_snapshot_setup lsvob vob-tag
  # vob_snapshot_setup rmparam vob-tag   (if necessary)

  # mt chreplica -host new-hostname replica:replica-name@vob-tag
(for each remote replica)
  # mt syncreplica -export -fship remote-replica-name@local-vob-tag

  # ct reformatvob -dump vob-storage-area

  # ct lock vob:vob-tag

  # ct rmtag -vob -all vob-tag
  # ct unregister -vob vob.vbs
  # more vob.vbs/.pid
  # kill -9 vob-pid   (if necessary)

  # cd vobstore
Same host, same partition:
  # mv old-vob.vbs new-vob.vbs  
Same host, different partition:
  # tar -cf - vob.vbs | (cd new-locn; tar -xBpf -)
Different host:
